18.2MP Exmor
®
R CMOS sensor
The 18.2MP Exmor
®
R CMOS sensor captures ultra-high definition images that take full advantage
of the camera’s sharp Sony
®
G lens. An advanced BIONZ processor rapidly analyzes the Extra-
High Sensitivity data from the sensor, and activates By-Pixel Super Resolution technologies to
reduce noise levels, resulting in stunning low light images with incredible details.
High speed AF
To improve focusing speed and sensitivity, the Exmor
®
R CMOS sensor uses its rapid throughput
to deliver high-quality image signals to the camera’s BIONZ
®
processor. The result is fast, DSLR-like
focusing speeds, even in low light.
Optical zoom plus Clear image zoom
Most digital zooms use electronic cropping to get closer to the subject, resulting in unsharp
images. With Clear Image Zoom the powerful processor compares patterns found in adjacent
pixels and creates new pixels to match selected patterns, resulting in more realistic, higher-quality
images. Clear Image Zoom doubles optical zoom for closer photos.
